Force Gates

Frick man, just... frick.

That witchcraft of an animated preview gif is simply stunning.

 

[StormKnight]

Spectacular.

 

[Deolrin]

Nice job. I definitely think there should be dwarf / gnome / goblin themed ones as well, though.
And maybe a futuristic/sci-fi/Starcraft themed one as well with Marine textures.

 

[Uyarrr]

It reminded me this! PERFECT!!!

 

[Gnuoy]

this is so perfect and so needed in the Hive library!!! I hope these don't crash the game/are approved.

It reminded me this

A variant without the poles would be useful too since triggered lightning crashes the game on load if it's active so the workaround is invisible units shooting a lightning spell constantly.

These are really fantastic, but the death animation leaves the poles behind. Perhaps it would be better if there was a death animation that destroyed the poles and instead you could use stand/stand alternate and morph animations for the electricity turning on and off.

I concur with that!

 

[Dark-Zalor]

It should be interesting to have the lighning textures files too.
Nice job btw

Dwarf/gnome/goblin are definitely on my list for a future update to the bundle. I'm really keen to do a bloodelf version too, but I've been having difficulty finding the right textures for that. If you've got suggestions let me know.

Good point actually, I can see how a plainly-colored lightning wall without the poles can be useful. Expect to see this put up in the bundle soon.

Perhaps it would be better if there was a death animation that destroyed the poles and instead you could use stand/stand alternate and morph animations for the electricity turning on and off.

The idea was for these to function like the ingame gates, i.e. the sides stay after you break through the middle. Nonetheless, a valid suggestion, and might be something I fiddle with later on.

 

[Deolrin]

For BElf, I would suggest the Spellbreaker's armour from the TFT campaign screen, Blood Mage armour, Dragonhawk stuff, and probably a white column base from Cityscape doodads. You can also add green crystals from other sources (Ancient Ziggurat hidden texture) and/or vines and flowers from the various nature props.
I second the other suggestions you quoted. Especially the Death animation one.

 

[Achille]

I love the birth animation! When the little force field comes out to meet the other pillar I'm reminded of Star Wars when Darth Maul is just fuming beyond several force gates. These models are incredibly handy for any project and it is fantastic to have so many variations.

 

[Tauer]

These are incredible!

 

[Archian]

These can be incredibly useful! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Lich134]

its just perfect awesome

 

[dujinyuan]

yeah it's good ...i have to think about a spell for it.

 

[Barorque]

That presentation.. next level!
Models themselves incredibly useful as well of course.

 

[A]mun]

Incredibly useful, just missing a Stand - alternate inactive version.

 

[General Frank]

Amazing and useful model with cool effects and extremely good use of in-game textures.
Models work in-game and perform well.
